CASE STUDY
Consort Architectural Hardware, commissioned by 1508 London’ s Dubai Studio, was well placed to supply a complete ironmongery package capable of meeting the project’ s ambitious design vision together with essential fire and life safety compliance requirements.
An environment reimagined During an 8 month renovation, every corner of the hotel was reinvented, from the grand foyer experience to its 112 luxury guestrooms, suites and signature hospitality spaces including the spa, swimming pool area and its famous Bascule Bar. The design- profoundly inspired by Cape Town’ s tranquil landscape and cultural identity- incorporates layered materials and delicate details, designed to guide guests through a cohesive and immersive journey of relaxation and exploration.
Ironmongery played a critical role in the narrative, achieving both the operational performance of the building and the architectural clarity between its interior spaces. In line with the demands of a hightraffic hotel environment, durability, compliance and long-term performance were central to hardware specification. Consort supplied premium EN 1906 Grade 4 lever handle sets suited to heavy-duty applications, with all components Certifire approved and paired with high-specification lock cases to ensure fire door integrity across the scheme.
A bespoke multi-profile lock cylinder system was also developed to align with the hotel’ s operational hierarchy requirements, supporting efficient access control without compromising security. To maintain the refined architectural language of the project, concealed hinges and door closers were consistently aligned with flush door detailing in order to preserve clean lines and reduce the visual interruption on each guestroom doorset. The result: a coordinated hardware solution designed to balance the demands of guest comfort, safety and long term performance.
